problem...

ok i got new rims , the fronts are sevas s star 19 x 8.5 with 20mm back spacing, with a 245 35 19 tire, i put a 5mm spacer on it b/c it wouldnt clear the brembo brakes on my coupe, so now it clears but, when i turn the car it hits the caliper, now i was lookin for spacers but i have only found 5mm and 10mm nothing inbetween, do they make like 7 or 8 mm spacers? i need more clearance but dont want to add anothoer 5mm b/c i dont need it?? if anyone can help me out it would be great, thnx

when you turn the car, it hits the calipers, but not when you're going straight?

that's weird.

That's not only weird but impossible! If you have the correct wheels (lug spacing) and the wheel is torqued down to specks, they don't touch spinning
the wheel it's impossible for them to touch by just turning the wheels. I believe you have something that isn't correct, either the lug spacing on the
wheels or spacers. Return everything and start over again with the correct
wheels to clear your Brembo calipers.......this is the smart thing to do!

+3 if your wheels is moving when you turn its going to come off and it deffinetly on wrong. The brake stays stationary therefore the wheels has to be wobbling, maybe your wheel is bent or needs a serious alignment
